< Psalms 92 >
1 A Melody, a Song, For the Sabbath-day. It is good to give thanks to Yahweh, And to sing praises unto thy Name, O Most High;
A Psalm. — A Song for the sabbath-day. Good to give thanks to Jehovah, And to sing praises to Thy name, O Most High,
2 To declare, in the morning, thy lovingkindness, And thy faithfulness at night;
To declare in the morning Thy kindness, And Thy faithfulness in the nights.
3 Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon a harp, With resounding music on the lyre.
On ten strings and on psaltery, On (higgaion) with harp.
4 For thou hast made me glad, O Yahweh, in thy doing, In the works of thy hands, will I shout for joy.
For Thou hast caused me to rejoice, O Jehovah, in Thy work, Concerning the works of Thy hands I sing.
5 How great have grown thy works, Yahweh, [How] very deep are laid thy plans!
How great have been Thy works, O Jehovah, Very deep have been Thy thoughts.
6 A man that is brutish, cannot know, And, a dullard, cannot discern this: —
A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; —
7 When the lawless do thrive like grass, And all the workers of iniquity have blossomed, It is that they may be destroyed for ever.
When the wicked flourish as a herb, And blossom do all workers of iniquity — For their being destroyed for ever and ever!
8 But, thou, shalt be on high age-abidingly, O Yahweh.
And Thou [art] high to the age, O Jehovah.
9 For lo! thine enemies, Yahweh, For lo! thine enemies, shall perish, They shall be scattered—all the workers of iniquity;
For, lo, Thine enemies, O Jehovah, For, lo, Thine enemies, do perish, Separate themselves do all workers of iniquity.
10 But thou wilt exalt, as [those of] the buffalo, my horn, I have been anointed, with fresh oil.
And Thou exaltest as a reem my horn, I have been anointed with fresh oil.
11 So hath mine eye descried them who were lying in wait for me, —Of my wicked assailants, mine ears, shall hear.
And mine eye looketh on mine enemies, Of those rising up against me, The evil doers, do mine ears hear.
12 The righteous, like the palm-tree, shall thrive, Like the cedar in Lebanon, shall he grow;
The righteous as a palm-tree flourisheth, As a cedar in Lebanon he groweth.
13 They who are planted in the house of Yahweh, In the courts of our God, shall flourish;
Those planted in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of our God do flourish.
14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:
Still they bring forth in old age, Fat and flourishing are they,
15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
To declare that upright [is] Jehovah my rock, And there is no perverseness in Him!
